Well since you two are the Vita Masters around here, looks like that's pretty solid information haha. Thanks.

Also, check your local Targets. They put Vita accessories on clearance a while back. You might still be able to find a case or charging cable.

I get so pumped when my fielders make big plays in my RTTS with my pitcher. Just got called up with the Rangers and Nelson Cruz throws out Pedroia going for a double on a liner down the first base line. Love it.

Ouch.

Link: Resistance: Burning Skies - REVIEW

Final Verdict:
2.0

BAD: 2s are generally awkward games that also lack originality. Any good they might have had are quickly swallowed up by glitches, poor design choices or a plethora of other issues. The desperate or the gullible may find a glimmer of fun hidden somewhere in the bargain bin pit.

[KNUBB]

Damn. Hopefully that doesn't destroy the hope of shooters on the Vita

[jms493]

Lulz...I had a bad feeling about to game. Next?

[Twigg4075]

Yikes. Oh, well. I only paid $20 and it's only one review.

When you switch to multiplayer, you lose the gripes about story and the ho-hum enemies, but you don't find the hook that'll make Resistance: Burning Skies a must have. Good for up to eight players, the online options are limited at best. There are no clans, a handful of maps, and perks that are just unlockable weapons and mods from the single-player campaign. If you're aching for a handheld shooter, the game's three modes (deathmatch, team deathmatch and survival) will be here for you, but I don’t know how much of a community will sprout up around this.

Interestingly, one of my biggest complaints about Resistance: Burning Skies is the game's audio. The orchestral score is beautiful, but it doesn't seem to get used all that often. Instead, it seemed like my soundtrack was my own footsteps as I ran through single-player and multiplayer. In multiplayer, another issue arose where I'd be all alone in an area but gunfire would sound as if it was raining down on me. No matter where I was in a match, it sounded like I was in the heat of battle as long as someone somewhere was using his or her gun.

Resistance: Burning Skies has the honor of being the first true twin-stick FPS on a handheld, but it doesn't do much with it. The story here is forgettable, the action is formulaic, and the multiplayer is simplistic. If first-person action is your favorite thing in the world, Resistance: Burning Skies is at your service. Just don't expect it to shine like we know this franchise can.

Link: PSNation Review

Conclusion:
When we had a conference call with most of our “PS Nation Staff” the other day, we discussed this game, and one of the first things I said was “you just know and feel that Insomniac didn’t make this game.” That’s not to say the game is bad, because it’s not, but it just doesn’t have that “soul” that the other games possess. The story takes a while to really get-going, and the lack of audio punch can take you right out of the experience at times, but overall, this is still a good game. I do still recommend it, but just know that you’re not getting Resistance 3. I had a hard time sticking with this one at the early stages, but I’m now glad that I did, as the last half of the game is very satisfying. As I cryptically posted on Twitter yesterday, “it gets better.

DANGIT. I was excited for Burning Skies! That pisses me off.

I've fallen off the Vita a bit over the last 2 weeks. I blame Diablo 3 for now.

[Swarley]

I'm now going to hold off on Resistance until I see some more reviews and impressions.

I want to be, but I already bought that collection for the PS3 and still haven't played it lol.

LBP Vita Beta is LIVE. If you registered for it go check that inbox.

No e-mail for me yet.

I did finish the second chapter of Burning Skies. The campaign at least seems really solid. I still have not been able to get into a multplayer game at all which is bullshit. One thing that does piss me off though is that it looks like they disabled the screen shot feature, which I love. I've tried to take several screen shots, a few of a massive boss, and I get the message "Screen shots can not be taken here" or something like that. Boo.

I played this game demo on the VITA last nite..... it actually was pretty decent. You swiped the screen to create platforms to jump on which i thought was a neat idea. Problem was that it is $20....I would probably have bought it out of curiosity for $10. Fucking Sony does not drop the price of any of these games on the PSN Store.

I have legitimately never heard of that game. $20 for what sounds like a niche game sounds pretty absurd.
